All New 2017 Mazda 3

[KennO]

Hi Guys,

I noticed that there's no thread available for the new 2017 Mazda 3 so I'm starting this. I drove one earlier as a test drive and the handling is just maaaaaaaaggggnnniiiffffficccceeent! Plus it has added sports mode, back-up camera, G-vector, among the others compared to the model year before.

Thinking if getting this (M3 1.5L Sedan) rather than the Civic 1.8E because after testing I just fell in love with handling, Skyactive + Youjin 3... But.. Worried about resale value.

Any thoughts?

Hi sir, tanong ko lang po manual po ba yung transmission na ginamit nyo?

There is NO MANUAL Mazda 3 in the Philippines. Since the first Mazda 3 was launched in 2004, there has never been a manual.

I know about Mazda a little bit. But whatever I know Mazda is a great car so far. I really enjoyed this one. lol

Provincial dealers add the freight and insurance cost to the vehicle's price ... most, if not all, of them do this ...

Been thru the Chevy experience. In a good way, Mazda is the total opposite in reliability, efficiency & service. Both the 2 & 3 are great cars, but I'd suggest the 3 more.

Sorry sir, I saw on youtube that there is a Manual and its model is 2017 Mazda 3 2.0 GT. Why there's no Manual Mazda 3 in the PH if there is a manual mazda 3 in the other country?

Besides the fact that the Skyactiv auto tranny being more fuel efficient & faster than its stick counterpart, it's the local market that dictates. The If you've tried any of the current Skyactivs, you'll likely note that the tranny is no slouch. The M2 was initially offered w/ stick....not anymore. You might still have luck w/ the MX5.

Because noone buys manuals in the Philippines except for base models and sports cars.

The dealership can go technical on anyone w/ aftermarket parts like wheels, springs, horns, etc. The difference w/ em & tune? The latter is reversible & proven safe on Skyactivs. You won't wanna go broadcasting, though.....Just enjoy your M more... More power, torque, better FC can all be had.
Oh...by the way, Shhhhhh....as with all your mods, their ignorance is your bliss.

Planning to buy the 2.0 variant.
Is it true that the because of iStop, battery life is only upto 1.5 to 2 years? Also, battery cost for M3 is around 15k?
Do you guys enable iStop even during traffic? I was thinking of disabling iStop na lng to prolong the battery life. Any other tips how to prolong the battery life? Thanks in advance.
